* Hollie Harris (@allholls): I don't accept cookies on websites, because I was raised not to take candy or treats from strangers.

* Krista (@kristabellerina): Some of you never had to flip a cassette to listen to side B and it shows.

* m@thew (@TweetPotato314): Putting a student driver bumper sticker on my car so people will expect less of me.

* Benny Feldman (@Feldfrog): Hey man, it’s just a joke. Which, as we all know, is a form of speech in a vacuum, devoid of meaning

TIGHT SHOES

Xwit

A man walks into a high-end shoe store and points straight at a sleek, expensive pair. “I want those,” he says. “Excellent choice,” says the salesman. “They’re $600. What size are you?”

“Size 12,” the man replies. “But I’ll take a size 10.”

The salesman hesitates. “Sir, those will be very tight.”

“I know. That’s the point.”

Puzzled but professional, the salesman brings him the shoes. The man forces his feet in, his toes curling like they’re in a vice, and limps out of the store barely able to walk.

A week later, he’s back. Same shoes. Same limp. The salesman is sure he’s here for a refund. But no. He says, “Do you have these shoes in brown?”

The salesman can’t believe it. “Sir, forgive me, but I have to ask, why do you keep buying shoes that clearly don’t fit? That must be excruciating!”

The man nods slowly and says, “Oh, it is. It hurts like hell. But you see… my wife left me, my daughter and son don’t speak to me, and I have another kid I haven’t seen in 20 years. My life is an absolute mess. But when I come home at night… sit on the couch… and take these damn shoes off… for ten glorious minutes, I feel like the happiest man alive.”
